This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney

Ms. Teav helped our company recover a six figure amount that was owed to us. She stayed on top of the matter and clearly communicated with us what needed to be done at each stage. She also offered advice on how we could prevent a similar situation from occurring.

Excellent attorney to work with who can handle multiple simultaneously

Over two years I assigned to Helena dozens of creditor collection cases against small to medium sized businesses, with the average case being in the low six figures. She consistently proved to be proficient in identifying critical legal issues and documentation deficiencies affecting the likelihood ...of prevailing in the collection action. Most significantly, she was highly effective in working with the courts to obtain favorable rulings on motions and judgments, and in negotiating the best possible settlements with debtors. Helena was very easy to work with as she was sensitive to my business objectives and did a great job of keeping me continually apprised of where things stood with her case load. Overall, I highly recommend her.

Helena Teav - Great to Work With!!!

Helena Teav has made my life a lot easier. I work for a large company in their accounts receivable department, and when my accounts reach an uncollectible status, I reach out to Helena for help. She has worked miracles and I have been able to recover a lot of money because of her outstanding work. ... She always responds to requests in a prompt manner and I never have to worry about whether my accounts are being worked. She is a pleasure to work with!

Helena was a great attorney

She walked me through my deposition and my civil suit. Throughout it all she was super responsive, understanding. Most importantly, she's efficient and she gets results. I was very happy with my settlement.
